    I think the problem with Wright fans is they see him outbox guys like Mosley, Trinidad, and Soliman with ease and think he's an incredible fighter. He's very good at what he does, but he will lose to a boxer/puncher of Taylor's caliber. Wright is going to be the smaller man for the first time in a LOOOONG time. The reason he dominated Mosley so easily was because Mosley was so ****ing small next to him. And Taylor is a much better fighter than Mosley. The only advantage Wright has in this fight is experience, but I don't think that's enough to just step up and beat a guy like Taylor. Remember, Wright won't even be able to hurt him, so Taylor will not fight half as cautious as he did against Hopkins. Taylor will go for the knockout.
    I think like Hopkins, Winky will also be exposed in this fight. Hopkins had a long stretch of fighting B level and smaller guys i.e. Trinidad, ODLH.

    Winky's only significant wins were versus Shane Mosley a former lightweight and Trinidad a former welterweight who himself never had win versus a real middle weight (Joppy and Mayorga).

    I think Winky will be overwhelmed by a natural middle weight and fight very defensively and lose by UD. If he tries to actually open it up he will get KO'd.

    I also agree with whoever said that Taylor was a sloppy fighter. He tends to lounge and is clearly off balance when he misses. He also doesnt follow up with lefts when he throws his trade mark right due to his lack of balance (look at the Taylor vs Hopkin fights and even early rounds of the Joppy fight when Joppy was actually fighting back). Taylor is raw and I think he will get better but right now he is pretty sloppy but physically gifted enough to win versus Winky.
